Metallics JMBHC1260 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread pitch does the Metallics JMBHC1260 M12 bolt use, and will it take a standard M12 nut?
Thread pitch is 1.75 mm, which is the coarse M12 pitch, so it mates with standard coarse-thread M12 nuts and tapped M12 x 1.75 holes. It will not thread into a fine-pitch M12 x 1.25 hole.
2) What grade of steel is this M12 x 60 hex bolt, based on its strength numbers?
Tensile strength is 120,350 psi minimum with 95,700 psi minimum yield, and hardness runs Rockwell C23-34. Those figures line up with a metric class 8.8 medium carbon steel bolt, the usual structural and equipment-mounting grade. The material is steel with a zinc finish.
3) Are these Metallics bolts acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JMBHC1260 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements, you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) Can I use these zinc plated M12 bolts outdoors or on a rooftop unit?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles dry indoor and sheltered conditions. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown, or coastal air, zinc plating will eventually corrode and a stainless or hot dip galvanized M12 bolt is the better call. Metallics builds the same hex head metric bolt pattern in 18-8 stainless as well as steel zinc.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of JMBHC1260, and can I buy fewer?
The JMBHC1260 ships as a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest buying unit. The jar packaging is the difference between the JMBHC prefix and the loose MBHC part of the series. Other sizes and quantities can be arranged by request.
6) What size wrench or socket do I need for these M12 hex bolts?
The head is a standard hex, and on a DIN 931 M12 bolt that is an 18 mm across-flats head, so an 18 mm socket or open end wrench fits. Head height on the spec sheet runs 7.32 to 7.68, which matters if you are working in a shallow counterbore or tight channel.
7) What is this M12 x 60 hex bolt typically used for in the trades?
It is a general purpose structural hex cap screw for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work: hanging strut and trapeze, bolting channel and brackets, anchoring equipment feet and panel frames. The 60 mm length with a partial thread suits stacked assemblies where you want the plain shank taking the shear through the clamped parts.
